The day began with the US-Iran conflict still dominating, as a naval blockade and airstrikes continued for a fifth day, with Iran threatening to halt Mideast energy exports. By early afternoon, however, editors shifted focus to Trump's reversal of a newly announced ICE policy suspending vehicle stops after two fatal shootings. Multiple outlets covered his statement that ICE 'cannot give up' traffic stops, with internal dissent and celebrations among agents reported. The Todd Blanche confirmation hearing for attorney general also drew sustained attention, with Democrats questioning his independence and a leaked confession causing a stir. In the evening, the Iran strikes resumed alongside coverage of Canadian wildfire smoke descending on the US and Argentina's World Cup comeback. The ICE reversal remained the day's defining editorial pivot, reflecting the tension between enforcement and accountability.
